Edo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal now sitting in Abuja, Nigeria, on Thursday adjourned proceedings to Monday, February 10, for the Edo State Governor, Monday Okphebholo, to open his case.
This development is sequel to the failure of the Independent National Electoral Commission, which was scheduled to present its promised five witnesses starting Thursday, February 6, to do so.
Kanu Agabi, SAN, INEC’s lead counsel, informed the three-member panel, led by Justice Wilfred Okpochi, that they would not be presenting any witnesses after giving it a thought at the end of Wednesday’s proceedings.
